A star-studded dinner at the Carole Nash Motorcycle Show gives fans the chance
to mingle with their top riding heroes.

Ever wondered what motorcycle greats such as Kevin Schwantz, Freddie Spencer and John McGuinness are up to now? You can find out at an exclusive gala dinner at a motorcycle show in London next month.

Hosted by motorcycle magazine MCN, the "Evening with the Stars" will see riding heroes including Neil Hodgson, Frankie Chili and Randy Mamola in attendance to discuss their victories, on-track duels, off-track gossip and generally mix with like-minded enthusiasts.

Motorcycle fans are invited to buy tickets for the dinner that will take place on Saturday February 5, alongside the Carole Nash Motorcycle Show at London's ExCeL centre, Docklands.

"There has never been a better opportunity to rub shoulders with such an incredible range of multiple world champions and biking icons," said an MCN spokesman. "It's a rare opportunity to hear some incredible tales, told first-hand by motorcyclists who have lived the kind of lives most of us can only dream of."

Added MCN editor, Marc Potter: "Rarely have so many legends of our sport been in the same room at one time. We wanted to make sure that not only did we bring all these guys to London but we also wanted to give fans the chance to properly rub shoulders with some of biking's biggest heroes."

Celebrities will circulate during the four-course dinner, giving all the chance to mingle with the stars. Later, the celebrities will be interviewed on stage before taking questions from the audience. The price for all this is £175 per head, including all food and table drinks.

The Carole Nash Motorcycle Show opens at ExCeL on Thursday February 3, running until Sunday February 6. Exhibition tickets are priced from £14.50 if bought in advance. Dubbed "The Greatest Bike Show On Earth", it will include all the major bike manufacturers, who will showcase their latest machines.

An added attraction is the "Revolution" show-within-a-show at ExCeL, featuring regular live stunt acts and racing. Tickets for this cost from £22.50.
